Eternal Longing: Annabel Lee's Unforgettable Love Tale
Lyrics
Oh Annabel Lee
Expressing a sense of longing or sorrow for Annabel Lee.
Just kids full of glee
Recalling a joyful time from their childhood together.
You were everything to me
Emphasizing Annabel Lee's significance in the speaker's life.
But life complicated things
Life's complexities interfering with the relationship.
Too sure of myself
Confidence leading to self-assurance and potential neglect.
And only myself
Self-centeredness evident in the speaker's actions.
Bad habits no help
Acknowledging harmful behaviors or vices.
Too high on the shelf
Being distant or aloof, perhaps unreachable.
But now you're gone the stars don't rise
Feeling a void or emptiness after Annabel Lee's departure.
I wait for dawn the moon won't shine
Longing for a new beginning symbolized by the dawn.
Sweet angels up above
Referencing heavenly beings, possibly in contrast to hellish elements.
Hellfires down low
Suggesting challenges or struggles represented by "hellfires."
I'm ready for your love

Too late, too late
Regret or sadness over the timing of expressing love.
My Annabel

Too late, too late, my Annabel

Too late for us my Annabel
Acknowledging the impossibility of a future together.
Too late, too late, my Annabel
Repeating the theme of lateness, possibly emphasizing the finality.
Too late for us my Annabel
Highlighting the irreversible nature of the situation.
Just once
Expressing a desire for a simple moment of connection.
To feel your hand in mine
Yearning for physical closeness and intimacy.
For once
Hoping to be noticed and acknowledged by Annabel Lee.
You'll notice me in time
Anticipating a positive change in their relationship.
For us
Expressing a collective identity, a shared "us."
I wouldn't have to say goodbye
Wishing to avoid the pain of saying goodbye.
You and I

Cold to touch by the sea
